They are NOT the same as the US spec.

 

SPOautos Do you have round taillights?

 

No, he doesn't. I would have to agree with Stephen though. If you want to put efini badges on your car, that's one thing. It's just the ex-Japanese designation for the car's make. But to put the Spirit-R badges on there, saying your car is a special edition, which it is not. Just like a kid with a Civic putting a Si badge on there when it's really a DX.

 

To canman6969,

You asked for the part number for the FD armrest. I believe the part number is:

F110 G1 441

Those are the numbers that appear on the bottom of my FD armrest.

 

Thanks bro,
We are calling right now....

 

Canman:
I would like the elbow rest, the carbon fiber emergency brake handle, and the Mazdaspeed CF shift ****.
Let me know if you can find those and how much $.
Leave PM.

What are you talking about?

 

sorry, double post

 

I hope I didnt offend anyone, I just reread my post and it sounded more harsh than I was meaning it to be.

I dont have round tail lights but I think those are ok anyway. I think the 99 J spec bumper is cool, not cause its the 99 bumper but just that I like it.

Its not the parts, its the badges. Its the missleading people to think you have something you dont. If you want to dress your car up and make it look good that all fine and dandy, I'm down with that. I've got a aftermarket bumper. What I dont like is something like a regualr Turbo 2 painted white with 10th ann badges slaped on it. It seems very rice boy to me to call your car something its not. Its missleading people into thinking you have something you dont. To me it falls in the same category as putting a fake bov on a n/a car to make people think its turbo when its not.... and yes they make those for Hondas and its stupid.

As for the efini badges, they are cool. The efini badge is nothing more than the standard Mazda badge in Japan. Its just saying you have a Mazda, I dont personally have one, but they are ok. Its better than putting on a badge to a car that you dont have.

I'd feel like a dumbass if I had R-Spirit badges and someone came up to me all excited going damn, dude how'd you get a R-Spirit over here!!!!! And I had to either lie and make up some bunch of **** or say... no, I just put the badges on my 93, 94, 95 what ever.

Later,
STEPHEN

 

I agree about badging your car to give others the impression it is something when it's not...but lets not forget a lot, if not most of the cars on the forum are unique when it comes to performance upgrades and modifications, meaning there are a lot of RX7s that probably perform as good or much better than a new '01 Spirit R (and thus are at least worthy of said badges), but still look like the original. What we need is for someone on this forum to design some type of 'SPECIAL EDITION' RX7 badging that recognizes that their upgraded car is a unique vehicle and an improvement of the original.

 

I think this idea is even worse than putting Spirit-R badges on a car that is not.. at least the R badges were made and used by Mazda. Every other POS ricer car I see around L.A. has some stupid fake designation on it like those mentioned in the above posts, there is an Eclipse near me that I see all the time.. on the back it says 'Special Edition' along the edge of the hatch. Not only is it obviously an aftermarket addition made in bad taste to even the casual observer, those of us who know just shake our heads because we all know nothing like that came out of a Mitsubishi factory. Adding performance and visual modifications to a car is clearly the owners choice, but putting an 'R' badge on a car because you added a "cold air intake" is an eyesore and an insult to the integrity of any car. And trust me, everyone behind you is laughing.

To Pedro, and everyone else
MAZDA's parts shops were closed last
week till this monday, so I couldnt get any
prices on Car parts. I tried to call last night
and ask about that and paint numbers. But
I was too late getting off work.
I didnt forget about you

Also about shipping. Shipping is only expensive, if you use FEDEX, UPS, or big names like that. But if you want that arm rest it would be there in about 5-7 days and cost $10-15 extra $$

Pretty cheap for your arms and legs

just an update....i have found out that shipping might be a little expensive...but i am still trying to find out prices on the pfcs.....99 spec tailights...so i will keep you all posted

 

I have a friend of mine who bought his power fc from the states and he drives a jspec FD. I drive a jspec FD and a jspec power FC. both of our ECU's are swappable. Not the same...but they WORK the same.

 

99 spec tail lights and powerFC in the same box wouldnt be more then $60 in shipping. Just so
you know EMS style. As for the prices I can give
you the power FC price, and 99 spec tail lights right
from mazda in about 5 hours.... Also I could get used
99 spec tail light in perfect condtion for about $120 for
a set. But im not dealing used parts yet sorry, very soon I wil be though...
